The Ministers And The Ministry Of The New Covenant

A revolutionary cure! This book is a revolutionary cure! In its preface, author Z.T. Fomum says these are messages taught at a time when the church was registering an increasing number of young ministers. Since the ministry depends on the quality of ministers who are available to the Lord, it was a question of presenting to the young ministers, in the light of the Scriptures, ways and means for the foundation of a glorious ministry, by equally glorious ministers, radically separated from self and sin, and totally surrendered or given to the Lord. This is the purpose for which this book is published. It is an outline of the fundamental principles for ministry in perfect holiness and from a position of renunciation - a revolutionary cure!

Covenant or contract is an important theme in the Bible. God made covenants with His people. He deals with them according to the covenants He made with them. Today we are under God’s New Covenant. For all God’s dealings with us in addition to our dealings with God will be governed by this New Covenant. We are therefore called to have New Covenant Living as well as New Covenant Ministry. It is hence extremely essential for us to be sure that our living and ministry are of the New Covenant way.

God is building a Church which is to be a place of refuge from the storm. God has a glorious purpose which He wants to accomplish in and through that house in the earth today. If the Church is going to be all that it is intended to be, it is imperative that the Church be built according to the blueprint and design of the Heavenly architect. This book details God's dynamic plan for its construction and His concern that every member be actively involved in the ministry to which he/she has been called. Author Bill Scheidler is the author of several books including The Local Church Today, Apostles, Present Day Truths and Principles of Church Life.

What Jesus Christ did at the cross is what formulated the new covenant and made it a viable force. In this revelatory book, Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart takes his readers from the law given at Mount Sinai to the grace of Calvary’s cross. Though many in the church today still see Him as the law-giver, this Bible-based book shows the Lord Jesus Christ as the forgiver of sins, the Saviour of the world, and the very person of the new covenant. Believers who dare to follow the new covenant and all of its teachings will reap God’s blessing, His favor, and everlasting victory.

This book clearly defines two critical terms in the divine revelation—the ministry of the New Testament and the teaching and fellowship of the apostles. A proper understanding of these terms is crucial to our remaining in the unique move of God and to our maintaining the oneness of the Body of Christ.

Stevens shows how churches today can be faithful to the New Testament model of every-member ministry. Specifically he focuses on how the laity can teach and learn the Bible, conduct small groups, pastor the sick and hurting, lead worship, evangelize neighborhoods and more. (Evangelism)

Second Corinthians may be considered as an autobiography of the Apostle Paul. In it we see a portrait of a person who lived in the Spirit. For us to enjoy and experience Christ in a rich way we must be persons in the Spirit as symbolized by ten aspects in 2 Corinthians—captives, letters, mirrors, vessels, ambassadors, co-workers, a temple, a virgin, lovers of the church, and tasters of Christ. It is by all of these aspects that we can be thoroughly wrought by God and with God and be constituted the ministers of the new covenant for the building up of the church.
